There is always a point at which all good things in life must eventually come to an end, no matter what their aspect may be. It is fair to say that during the course of a career spanning more than 25 years, R&B sensation Tank has produced some timeless recordings and vibes. In the end, the Milwaukee talent will be remembered as one of the best ever to have made it to the top. The male R&B genre has benefited greatly from him. After losing his hearing in his right ear in 2021, Tank has decided to retire from the gaming industry. I hope he is able to continue contributing music for years to come. Earlier today, he released his last album, R&B Money, to the public (Aug 19).
In addition to being a bittersweet moment for most of us, being able to watch Tank’s career blossom over the years is a real honor. It also just so happens that he dropped this album at the best possible time. Social media has become a national topic of discussion after Diddy kicked it off. The question that he posed in a tweet earlier this week was, “Who killed R&B? The question led to many debates with varying answers and reasoning. Essentially, this was the type of alley-oop Tank needed to prove that R&B is far from dead.
Tank explained in a statement what motivated him to record his final album: “ R&B Money represents a labor of love I’ve put into the genre of R&B. That’s who I am! ” he declared. “My life wouldn’t be the same without artists such as Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Keith Sweat, Al Green, and all the fans who keep me motivated to make music. It was imperative to me that this album was a tribute to my influences and my development as an artist, and I think that’s exactly what this record represents.”
A few days before July arrived, LuLu P dropped off a music single entitled “Meta,” a song filled with laid-back rhymes about money, women, his position in the industry, and more:
Since the beginning of the decade, LuLu P has been blessed with top tier body of work, including Himalayas, Thanks LuLu, and BIG 16 (All American P), as well as collaborations with Larry June, Sauce Walka, as well as more. A four-month period in the year 2020 saw the Maryland-born artist release a complete set of loose tracks spanning his entire career, this included “Lunch Line,” “Born From Pain,” “Thouwow,” “Coke Flow,” “Nuthin’ New,” “Expand The Market,” “Detroit Red,” “Cartier Lenses, and ost Electrifying.
A$AP Ant’s Marino Infantry movement, in addition to LuLu P’s solo work, has been an integral part of his career as well. Together with members such as Baby 9eno, Soduh, and Lil 2 Dow, LuLu‘s bars have been featured on compilations including Vol. 2, Enter The Infantry, Enter The Infantry, and Infantry Warz. In addition to his role in the endless line of pop-ups and shows throughout the country for Marino Infantry, he has also been a prominent figure at Marino Infantry’s merch pop-ups. LuLu and the D.C. area/Baltimore-based collective are probably going to release a new album before the year 2022 has come to an end.
Rappers have been hitting the scene in recent times and Fivio Foreign is one of those. A rapper who consistently creates bangers from singles and features without any full-length albums must be a different breed of artist. The popularity of social media and streaming is reaching new heights every day, which makes it possible that music will be here tomorrow and gone the next. Even though he has yet to prove to the world that he can overcome the odds set against him in this industry, New York rapper Eminem has proven beyond doubt that he can succeed. The highly anticipated debut album of Fivio Foreign, titled B.I.B.L.E., is now available.
In conjunction with the release of his second album, B.I.B.L.E., Brooklyn rapper Big Drip has released a documentary. Directed by Sam Balaban, the film takes an in-depth look at the life of “Big Drip” rapper, unveiling his family, the creative process of how he created music, and his experiences with losing those he loved, including his mother. One somber scene shows him saying, “I have lost family members and people close to me all my life.” “Death has always been a part of my life. When my mother died, I couldn’t forget her. When you experience these moments, you kinda wonder if God is real. But it’s important to remember that God is the reason we experience these moments. It’s natural to be sad sometimes, but we have to understand that it’s just part of life.”
Ye served as the executive producer for the album in an effort to add some sauce. Featuring 17 songs and 17 features, B.I.B.L.E. includes Ye, A$AP Rocky, Quavo, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Lil Yachty, Vory, Polo G and more!
In recent years, the tequila market has seen growth in both the domestic Mexican one and the global international markets. Cultural symbols of Mexico, such as El Diablo and Patrón, have grown to prominence internationally, which is evident through Tequila Cuervo being sold in over 170 countries. On a smaller scale, celebrity brands provide yet another option for consumers within these markets.
Why more celebrities are starting their own tequila companies
Just like any brand, the tequila market is rising rapidly with many customers. As a result, many celebrities see this as an opportunity to start their own company and capture some of that market. Some stars want to break into the alcohol industry because it’s not saturated, and there’s money to be made.
Madonna, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez are just a few celebrities who have started their tequila brands. The reason is simple: the distribution system has improved considerably. Manufacturers produce much higher volumes of alcohol but ship it to brokers that then distribute it to the market, making it easier for pallet shipments to reach other regions and across borders.
What caused the rise of celebrity-run tequila brands?
Tequila sales in the US have been dropping since 1990 when they peaked at 180 million gallons, but since 2006, many celebrities have taken to marketing their brands.
The US is also behind this boom pushing back against heavy regulation and opening up new opportunities for small-scale production.
Celebrities are a massive marketing force for businesses to work their magic. Brands want celebrities to represent them because they know people will buy what the celebrity promotes, no matter what. Plus, celebrities are famous faces that can touch consumers emotionally and connect with them in ways that brands don’t have the chance to do.
The success of celebrity-run tequila companies continues to increase
Celebrities have taken on a new venture that focuses on the same core commodity and process as their previous celebrity branding ventures, tequila. As these brands begin to expand and the quality of life associated mainly with the celebrity niche marketers improve, more people will be convinced to try these brands. People need to maintain their brand by continuing to keep up their lifestyles, or else they will lose interest in what they promote.
Tequila as a drink and industry can be dated back to the 16th century. Often, artisanal tequila brands are associated with young, up-and-coming musicians or actors. Many celebrity-run brands sell their tequila line either at their concerts or online through their websites.
The latest tequila craze is nitrogen-frozen clear Agave liquor with an upscale price tag.
There seem to be no bounds on what celebrities will package under their name to make money in this current era!
Conclusions
The research found that more and more celebrity-run tequilas brands were surfacing, suggesting that consumers are becoming more aware and willing to buy products endorsed by celebrities. When purchasing a product, their trust in the celebrity may often outweigh their thoughts on the company’s authenticity. The explosive growth of the celebrity brand in the upcoming years is especially prevalent in popular social media platforms. When we first realized the numbers, the data analyst in me couldn’t help but sit back and think about the implications of this rise. The popularity of influencers is no secret, and trends usually show a spike when that person’s name is leveraged. Brands seem to be capitalizing on this.
M Huncho is now unmasked as the trending rapper in the music and entertainment industry. The rapper started gaining popularity last year after releasing a sophomore album. The celebrity released this album in January, and it has 13 tracks that feature artists like D block and Nafe Smallz, among others.
The album songs are in the singles chart and are now on the top five albums in UK music charts. The trend list follows the release of this new hit that happened before Halloween. The album songs are now top in UK charts, and this musician is teaming up with other top artists from different states. That’s how he is gaining popularity globally.
There have been some loose cuts from the producer, and this is raising hope for new projects. The musician has delivered hiatus, and it’s the current trending song. The song sees British talent emphasizing how hard work pays and getting the money is essential.
In the lyrics, he says that nothing else works for him when he puts everything together except bags of cash. He clearly says he isn’t about love or everything else, but just the money. He insists on his belief in hard work paying off and how he deals with his fans.
He appreciates the crowd/ audience, and he says he believes he will come top on the list on a financial front. He still insists that he will collect more money by the end of it all.
